These two had a ball farting around in the studios. Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson working side by side. Together, their genius brought forth "The Man", "Say Say Say", and "The Girl is Mine".
I don't know the exact details on why Michael bought the rights to ATV(which included Paul McCartney's dessert). Since they had such a great bond going. Then again, rumor has it that Mecca encouraged The Gloved One on the benefits of song ownership(particularily other peoples songs). Only to give his friend the cold shoulder once he actually pulled it off(while McCartney refused to pitch on his part of the bid). Regardless, they've since let bygones be bygones(both Yoko Ono and Paul McCartney staunchly supported Michael Jackson during his hour of trial).
"The Man" and "Say Say Say" are from McCartney's solo album "Pipes of Peace". He also wrote a song for Michael's "Off The Wall" album "Girlfriend". Which he also sang on a "Wings" album "London Town".
